Chelsea Transfers

[Pizy 18,510]

We pull off the one in a million miracle and sign Haaland we’re winning the league. Simple as that.

[Tomo 21,733]

I'm not as fixated on a striker as many despite the records of our players last season.

I think there's a lot of mitigating circumstances. Havertz with very bad Covid then returning when we were at the meltdown period under Frank, Werner having a few weeks of bad misses which then escalated, Pulisic injured for most of the early part of the season and then returning in the Frank meltdown period, Ziyech losing his momentum he was building before injury, and not to mention three were in their first season and before Tuchel arrived weren't getting coaching to the required level they needed at this level. I don't think it's unreasonable to think those four and Mount (possibly CHO too) will all improve by atleast 4/5 league goals next season which will effectively be new striker numbers.

I have enjoyed the fluidity that's been building with Kai as the false 9 and I think we are onto something going forward. An out and out striker could potentially put us backwards in our evolution even if he offers impressive numbers, ofcourse the main person I'm referring too is Lukaku but even with Haaland I can't help but look at the fact BVB have got worse despite his unbelievable personal numbers.

I like how the rumours are intensifying that we are ready to sell Ziyech, probably to Italy. We have too many wingers anyway and we could sign a decent one as upgrade. Even if we don't sign one directly. if we sign a striker, Werner and Havertz will play more on the positions beside so would be effectively enhance competition there.

The problem is the Roman (or the club) doesn't give a F about all that. Last year, we bought the shiniest toy out there in Havertz and now we are trying to get Haaland or Lukaku. God knows how Tuchel is gonna fit everyone into a cohesive unit.

Telegraph reporting that we're serious about Håland. Cannot see it to be honest.

Price is off putting but you can realistically believe the club will do everything in their power to lower it. Either by player swap + cash or working with Raiola himself. We did it with both Havertz and Werner. 

Much like Havertz, Haaland is a generational talent. I can see us putting as much work as we did with the former because of that.

Chelsea's current highest earner is Kante at a rumoured £290k a week. Werner, Havertz, Pulisic and Kepa are all rumoured to earn £150-200k a week.

Haaland's demands are rumoured to be from £350k to £500k a week. 

Breaking the wage structure won't be easy

Kante makes half that

£144,231 per week

thsi was sorted out here on TC two years ago

the £290K PW figure was from stupid foreign sources who assumed UK salaries were quoted in net terms, so they just doubled it for the gross, and the duncey brit press picked up on it

the highest paid Chels player atm is Chilwell, at £190K per week

Spotrac and Capology are the gold standards, all the major papers and sites use then

an update

we were at 67

we have 59 players to sort out, 

whether sell, keep on main team, loan out, renew, release, or keep on reserves/youth

the 16 in bold black are big ones (in terms of money spent or their worth) that need to be sorted ASAP, many are damn near worthless now, or a small fraction of what we could have gotten if not for idiotic non sales

bold red are ones who might or should have a future here down the road, or at least be able to be sold for decent money

I like CHO but his attitude can be a bit concerning. He is not a fighter like Pulisic. He has quality but seems lazy at times to me. 

Still young and can improve. So I'm torn in this decision, I will like better a loan.
